Espresso machines

Gaggia

Gaggia is the Milanese house whose founder, Achille Gaggia, patented the piston lever machine in 1938 and commercialized it in 1948 — forcing hot water through the puck at high pressure to create espresso crema for the first time. Today the brand spans the icon Classic Evo Pro alongside a full range of super-automatic machines, carrying that lever-era heritage into everyday kitchens.
